Let me see!!!
 
I want to see your best buck ever. Anyone who has a pic of their best buck and story, would be cool tosee and read. Don't care what the size is, just as long as it's your best.

Not much of a story. He came in one morning this past October. He came from the right and that is what I was set up for. I knew I'd see a deer from this stand. I drew when he was behind some cedars, shot him at 20 yds, he went about 75 yds falling just out of sight with an easy blood trail. I've been bowhunting for 3 years now, this is my best.

Second deer I ever saw while hunting:



Sorry bout the gun, it was before Igot hooked by the bow.

Came in 10 minutes till last shooting light, gave me a 20 yard broadside and I made it count. I was the most excited I had ever been in my life after seeing it lying there horns in the air.....that was before my first bow kill and I would have to say, I WISH I HAD A BOW THEN!!

I consider that a great success to an ultimate challenge when anyone can seal the deal after previous sightings!!

Here is my best, taken in 1988. Not much of a story, lots of luck, was there at the right time at the right place, and I had not seen him before. There were big, new scrapes put out a couple of days before taking him. On the day before the 2nd firearm season while walking the 1/2 mile hike to my stand, I saw two does running across the open field. A couple of minutes later as I was crossing a long but wide fencerow that separated two fields, to my right was this buck about 100 yds. away. He had his head down, obviously scent trailing. I stepped back into the brush and got down on one knee while nocking an arrow, just hoping he would continue his journey and not veer off because that would take him past me. A few minutes later here he came and started to turn slightly quartering away at 25 yds. as though he was going to go up the large wooded hillside. I found an opening and let the arrow fly with my Oneida Eagle. Hit him in the chest(passthrough) and he turned, ran and fell into the brushy fencerow, not 15 yds. from me. As a result, and flame away at this picture(we didn't know any better then):

He looks huge in this pic for some reason. Not that he's not huge but you know what I'm sayin?I guess its the velvet. Very cool that you have a history with the buck!

I wouldn't know which one to pick, my first or my biggest score wise or two of the broken rack bucks that would have surpassed my biggest score wise or my birthday buck or the couple taken on film, the Halloween buck that I shot 10 yards from my exwife's treestand at first light when she wouldn't get out of bed that morning to do it herself, the crippled buck that I mounted because he was a champ or even the shared hunts with others. There are so many that have so much meaning.

Shot him this year, rattled him in. He came in at about 150 yards and stopped. I grunted and he came across the shallow river and turned broadside at 60 yards.

First kill with a recurve ;)





BUT, this is my "best" b/c it was my first bow kill buck, some 16 years ago...My brother in law was with me on stand and it made a bowhunter for life out of him....

I shot this one 10/24/07. I rattled in 3 different sequences. I was listening and I could here some sticks breaking but they weren't getting any closer. I'm thinking what the heck is going on? All of a sudden it clicked in my head, I told myself to look up about 20' off the ground and see if you can see any small tree's or bush's getting thrashed? Sure enough thats what I seen. The tree was 4" in diameter, he damn near broke it in 2, he was pissed! He wasn't actually rubbing it, he was slamming it trying to knock it over, it was something else! After that he came to with in 12 yards and I passed him up thinking he was a size to small (little did i know) After 20 minutes directly under my stand I thought what the heck he's close to books and shot him at 17 yards with my recurve. My field judging lately has been terrible the last few years on scoring bucks while hunting, I've been scoring them a size to small for some reason![:@] This buck ended up scoring 140 1/8 P@Y. At the time I thought if he made 125 he was lucky.

You didn't mount any of them?? Buckmagnet

Buck Magnet 01-10-2008 09:10 AM

RE: Let me see!!!
 
Nope, the bottom two were shot when I was 14 & 15, the one I am holding was shot when I was 17. I didn't have the money at the time to get them mounted so I just cut the racks off and they sit in my house. I plan on getting the biggest one mounted at some point.
